Complying with CAP TRM.31450

Both CMS (42 CFR 493.1281) and the College of American Pathologists (TRM.31450 & COM.04250) require laboratories that use more than one method of analyte testing to have a system for comparing those methods. Laboratories are required to check their testing methods against each other twice a year.

In a recent study, conducted at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital, the ALBAcheck® Competency Testing Kit from Quotient was incorporated into their comparability of methods protocol. The kit was shown to be a simple and convenient solution to complying with these requirements. To see the full poster (click here).
